Application filed October 3, 1921. Serial No. 505,134. f

Kits, of which the following is a specification.

The general object of my present inven tion is the provision of a highly convenient toilet kit for the use of the members of a household, and one that is sanitary, is susceptible of being quickly and easily supplied with toilet materials, and is calculated to avert the scattering of toilet devices promiscuously about a bath room or other apartment; I

To the attainment of the foregoing, the invention consists in the practical improvement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof V Figure 1 is a front view of the kit con stituting the best practical embodiment of my invention of which I am cognizant.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the kit.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the kit.

Figure 4 is an inverted plan View of the same.

Figure 5 is a detail vertical section through one of the side cylinders of the kit.

Figure 6 is a diametricall section of the central comparatively large cylinder of the kit.

Figure 7 is a diametrical section illustrative of the powder can as the same appears when removed from the large central cylinder.

Figure 8 is an inverted plan view showing the powder can and certain appurtenances thereof.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

Among other elements my novel kit comprises a bracket 1 adapted to be affixed to a wall or other support and having a forwardly extending sleeve 2, equipped with a set screw 3. Socketed in the said sleeve 2 and adapted to be detachably held by the set screw 3 is an arm 4 on a standard 5 that is appropriately fixed at 6 to the large central cylinder 7 of the kit. Adjustably fixed by a set screw 8 on the said standard 5 is a sleeve 9 to which is hingedly connected at 10 a mirror 11; the hinge connection '10 being of such construction that by proper manipulation of the same the mirror. may be adjustably fixed at various angles of inclination to suit the convenience of the person standing'in front of the kit.

I Appropriately secured on the large contral cylinder 7 are bands 12 and 18, the said bands having loops or eyes; 14 and 15, respectively, disposed at opposite sides of the said central cylinder ,7. In the outer portions of theloopsor eyes 14 are bayonet slots 16.

@Disposed in the loops or eyes 14 and 15 and arranged alongside the central cylinder 7 are comparatively small cylinders 17 on which are'studs 18' that are engaged with in Figure 5 will sufiice to impart a definite understanding of both; The cylinder 17 referred to is provided at its upper end i with a. fixed head 19 in which bears and is held against endwise movementa screw 20 with a knurled head 21 at itsupper end. The said screw 20 is threaded through a rectilinearly movable follower 22, and the said follower 22 isfheld against turning about its axis through the medium oflongitudinal ribs 23 at the inner side of the cylinder 17. Manifestly rotation of the screw 20 will be attended by rectilinear movement of the follower22 which fwill enable the latter toforce paste such as tooth paste from. the lower end of the'tubeQ At its lower end the cylinder 17 is provided with a small screw bore 24 which is designed to carry the paste through the. bottom of the bell 25 at the lower end of the cylinder. It will be noticed here that the lower end portionof the cylinder 23 is in the form of a detachable section, designed to' be removed for the cleaning of the cylinder and; its appurtenances and for the replenishing of the supply of paste therein.

At its lower end the cylinder 17 is provided with a closure disk 26, and a fastener 27 to detachably hold said disk in closed position; the fastener 27 being preferably in the form of a thumb push with spring so arranged that when the same is pressed downwardly it releases a lip on the disk 26 so that the latter can be swung open on its pivotal connection 28. It. will be noted that the closure disk 26 is adapted to exclude foreign substance from the paste in the cylinder 17 and is sanitary for such reason. It will also be noted that the loops 15 on the lower band 13 are of cup shape so as to seat and support the cylinders 17.

At its forward side the large central cylinder 7 is provided with a plurality of loops 30 to support tooth brushes and'with a comparatively large central loop 31 to support a shaving brush.

Fixed to and, extending; upwardly from the upper band 12 are rods 40the upper portions of which are threaded to receive wing nuts 41, and secured by the said wing nuts 41 on the said rods 40 is a cap plate 42the ends of which receive the upper portions of the screws 20 and rest above the cylinders 17 with a View to preventing re moval of the said cylinder 17 until after the cap plate 42 is disconnected and removed. In this connection it will be observed that one of the recesses 43 of the plate 42 is open at the side of the plate while the other recess. 44 isopenat the end of. the plate. Consequently when the wing nuts 41 are removed the plate may be swung-upwardly out of engagement with the rods 40 after which the end of the plate containing the recess 43 may be swung from under the head 21 of one screw 20, and then the other end portion of theplate maybe moved from under the other head 21.

The large central cylinder 7 is provided with a reduced lower discharge portion 50, and is also provided with an interior thread in its lower portion as indicated by 51. The upper end of the cylinder 7. is normally closed by the closure plate 42, and in said cylinder 7 is removably arranged a can 52 adapted to contain soap powder for shaving purposes. The? can 52 is threaded at 53 to engage the thread 51 and detachably secure the can in the cylinder 7. In the lower .portion of the can 52 are arms 54 adapted to be turned through the medium of a finger piece 55. The arms 54 are turned through the medium of a handle rod 55 which extends through the lower end of the can 52, and is provided with a handle 56 that is returned to and yi-eldingly retained in the position shown in Figure 8 through the medium of a retractile spring 57. The central portion of the lower end wall of the can 52 is perforated as indicated by 58, and connected to the handle rod 55 is a foraminous disk 59. When the'handle 56 is'moved against the action of the spring 57 from the position'shown in Figure 8 the arms 54 will be swung about a center -to agitate the powder in the can and assure .ieed ot the powder, and at the same tlme the apertures in the disk 59 will be registered with the apertures in the lower end of nected at 71 to pendent arms 72 on the lower band 13. V The said bowl is designed toreceive tooth paste dropped from the cylinders 17 orpowderdropped from the cylinder 7; and it will be noted that the said bowl is susceptible of being readily removed tor cleaning andof being as readily replaced and secured in position. H I I It will be observed that the foraminous disk 59 is provided with a radial projection 80, designed to bring up against a pin or teat on the lowerend wall or" the can with a view to preventing rotation of the disk 59 by the spring 57 beyond the fully closed position. v I

It is within the purview of my invention tov employ both of the cylinders 17 for the Having described my invention, what I" claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is

In a toilet kit, the combinationof an ap propriately supported cylinder open at its upper end, bands 'carried by said cylinder and having side loops or eyes, supplemental" cylinders removably arranged in said'loops or eyes, screws carried in and extending above said supplemental cylinders and pro; vided at their upper ends with head's, threaded rods extendingupwardly from the upperband and equipped with nuts, and a plate detachably secured by the nuts in the rods and resting over the cylinders and 1 notched to receive the screws,substantially as and tor the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
